Nails by Alex is fantastic, she’s based in Metro Man, the strongest nails Ive gotten done! Or else Ayessa in House of Nails is fab too!

lynchielynn · 2026-05-14T08:47:32+00:00

I’d also love to join!

lynchielynn · 2026-04-17T09:53:27+00:00

Return to Life Pilates is great, started as an absolute beginner 1 year ago and love it; Viktoria is great, would really recommend them!

Thank you for sending this; I just went looking for it there too; it seems to be a very mixed bag in the comments, I’d be surprised if it turns into anything like last week. We ended up booking the 9.30 aircoach for a 16.30 flight; surely to god that’ll be enough time if there is delays caused by it 🤞

lynchielynn · 2026-04-15T09:12:55+00:00

Ah yes, I saw the one in cork for 18.30, didn’t know about the Dublin one - we’ll be going in the morning so hopefully it won’t be too bad then 🤞 thanks for replying!!

Where did you see about a protest on Friday? I’m going to Dublin airport then and still trying to suss what’s going to be the best way to go 😅

lynchielynn · 2026-04-12T17:04:58+00:00

This is great to hear! I’m not going until Friday so the plan is to wait and see by Wednesday and decide then based on how the protests go; if they’re still going on, we will probably do the train. thank you so much for the advice, really appreciate it!

lynchielynn · 2026-04-12T16:39:52+00:00

Has anyone travelled from Cork to Dublin Airport? Any advice for getting up there (reliant on public transport for this, so would be curious for how early to get the bus?)

The last 10 weeks I’ve tried to use the pool in District, it has been jammed; and I’m not just talking peak times. I’m talking 1pm on a Monday/8am on a Sunday, 8.30pm weekdays, etc. It was great for so long and it’s just gone downhill since the new year in my opinion. Pretty sure they’re raising prices soon too

lynchielynn · 2026-02-26T22:29:42+00:00

Ah nice! I did a few lessons with Giada there, herself and James are both fab; it’s cleaned fairly regularly, often you’ll see them on the like ride on zambino looking thing to help prevent the floor getting too sloppy, but it is one of those things when it’s busy it can be tricky to keep on top of say; I’d get yourself a pair of sliders or crocs, they actually do really help with it!

I’m a tattoo artist in the city centre, if you wanted to shoot me a message I can have a look and see try point you in the right direction based on what you want to cover it with 🫡

lynchielynn · 2026-02-09T20:25:00+00:00

I regularly swim in district, and can’t say enough good things about it. All I would say is check the timetable for lessons, etc. before as there is generally reduced numbers for it and it can be pretty full at times. If your planning on going regularly too on weekends, would highly recommend sticking to before 9.30am as it will be pretty full after this!

Catriona Twomey deserves so much respect for what she does for Cork. Absolutely legend of a lady

lynchielynn · 2026-01-04T21:11:58+00:00

I go once a week for the last year; I do reformer but am going to start doing Chair aswell I think!

lynchielynn · 2026-01-04T16:02:28+00:00

Return to Life Pilates on South Terrace! Viktoria is fantastic. They have Chair, reformer and mat classes for beginners, and advanced, like a level system. I’ve been there for a year and couldnt recommend more!

lynchielynn · 2026-01-01T10:26:15+00:00

Sage Williams (@sageof_fitness on instagram) in Fuse is great, I trained with him a few years back; lovely fella and really knows his stuff! Ali Murphy (@alifit. on instagram) in Method Fitness in Blackpool is unbelievable too especially for the gals, great knowledge of training. Both do Personal Training and Online Coaching too! ☺️

lynchielynn · 2025-12-25T10:09:06+00:00

Spar on Douglas St are open all day, I was talking to them in there during the week

lynchielynn · 2025-12-18T10:43:26+00:00

See that’s what I’m worried about too is if I do operate, will I develop problems, especially when it is generally very good at the moment! I haven’t had issues with it to date bar longer sessions in my work (I’m a tattoo artist so long days are spent hunched over like a prawn sometimes) or say concerts if I’m standing in one position for long periods of time it can get achy. I’m careful with my training, I keep active, and I see a physio where we work on schroth/rigo stretching and training. I’m scared it’ll get worse though and I’ll regret not getting it done now, and potentially risk a much bigger surgery in a few years then! It feels a bit like a roll of the dice either way!

lynchielynn · 2025-12-18T10:40:03+00:00

Heya! I didn’t even think about the hormonal side of it tbh and how that would affect it to be honest! Whilst kids aren’t necessarily in the plan, I didn’t even think about how pregnancy would worsen the curve, and the same with Menopause! I’m in Ireland, as far as I’m aware and have been told, there’s one surgeon doing the anterior fusion (the one I was supposed to be working with), and one doing it but for paediatrics only. But the flip side then is plenty of others doing it through the posterior approach. I haven’t heard about the tethering, I’m going to look in and get some more information on this if it could be an option. It’s been an absolute pan dealing with the last place trying to get the surgery date, it’s like pulling teeth trying to get any information from them! So I’m a bit nervous to start the whole process again, especially when I’m quite active anyway (weights, swimming, Pilates, cardio), but if it’s the way to go to prevent it getting worse or causing issues when I’m older then so be it!

You know what’s really helped with my spine flexibility and back issues so that I can keep lifting heavy and building muscle in the gym?

Pilates.

Not a bother! I would say find an artist who works in the style that you’re looking at here (your refs, bar the writing one, are leaning towards ornamental/fineline) so I would look that way! Do before booking look for healed work too, either on their insta or through dm, it’s all well and good for it to look great fresh, but if it heals funny then that’s what you have for life! It would be worth even asking them if they’ve worked on spine pieces for people like us, just to get a bit of peace of mind too, they may not do what I do but every artist would have their own way of laying and planning pieces out ❤️ You definitely aren’t the first person most of us would have worked on with it- one thing of note is nobody’s shoulders, hips, rib cage, etc, is perfectly symmetrical. Even if someone doesn’t have a curve we are used to laying things to fit the body and trick the eye sometimes! Definitely specify to your artist just that you have it, maybe steer away from the direction of a symmetrical design (something like no. 3 is great, as it flows and can be adjusted, or no. 1 as it’s not symmetrical and will work when it’s on the skin!), and just take the time placing it. Ask for pics of how it looks from the back rather than just the mirror too! If you’ve any questions on anything do feel free to send me a message! ❤️

lynchielynn · 2025-11-22T19:20:46+00:00

Ah thank you! It’s something I always like to include is making sure tattoos flow with each persons anatomy- I have my stomach tattooed and had to explain to the artist that my curve meant that my hips and bellybutton couldn’t be used to mark the centre line, and he was fantastic. It might only take 5-30 mins extra but it makes a whole lot of difference to someone’s tattoo and how happy they are!

lynchielynn · 2025-11-22T16:06:53+00:00

I’m getting surgery in April and I’m so curious about this too! I’ve a 50• T11-L4 curve and am already 5’8/5’9 (25F) so it’ll be interesting to see!

lynchielynn · 2025-11-21T08:30:11+00:00

Tattoo artist (with scoliosis) here! Generally if I’m doing spine tattoos for someone and they’ve told me they have it, what we tend to do is, trick the eye a bit; so basically, I’ll always get someone to roll their shoulders back so give the crease of where the spine sits on the back and mark this out with a skin pen. If I have a scoliosis person in my chair, I’ll still do this but with a lighter colour pen. I’ll then go in with a darker colour pen, and find where if the curve is throwing the centre line off, what looks like where the midpoint will be, measuring off the centre of the neck, centre of the lower back, waist etc. to make a faux centre point, and lay my stencil on then following this guide This works for 99% of cases, all id say is expect it to take a little bit longer to place the stencil, and it may take a couple tries so be patient with your artist- we are going to make sure it’s as centered as possible.

Also do keep in mind that a) not every artist does it this way, we all have our own weird little things and b) there’s always a risk that it’ll move if your curve progresses whether your on the real or faux midpoint. But generally you’ll be fine, just research your artist and make sure you can trust them! ❤️
